The celebrated chef and cookbook author, Andrew Carmellini, offers up an entirely different ambiance and experience from The Dutch - where we ate last year - with French rather than Italian influences. Fantastically fresh oysters, and great mains - cod, chicken, steak frites. Desserts are a specialty - with takeout available.
More details soon on these good eats...
